It’s that time of year again when we have the Club AGM. This years meeting will be held on the 27th of August at 11am at the EPTC Club Rooms.

After many years of hard work, a number of our longstanding committee members have decided it’s time to step aside and allow others to take an active role in the Clubs future. These members have made significant contributions to the development of Eildon Park Tennis Club, not just as a tennis club, but as a valuable and important community asset. We owe these people a significant debt.

The “changing of the guard” represents a significant moment in our club’s history. This is both an exciting and challenging opportunity for us. Our club is the envy of many others and one we should be rightly proud of. This has not occurred by sheer luck.

With this in mind, I invite you all to seriously consider what role you can play in the future of Eildon Park Tennis Club. Even a small role assisting a convenor or subcommittee would be enormously beneficial to the club. We need your help now more than ever. We are a community based club reliant on community input for the future benefit of our community. The satisfaction and stimulation you get from being involved in a club such as ours is directly proportional to what we as individuals put into it.

This is your opportunity to make a positive difference in our club and community.

Eildon Park Tennis Club recently held a Hot Shots program for Autistic children from Irabina Autism Services. There were 27 children over the 2 day program which included a visit from Federal MP Alan Tudge and Knox Mayor Darren Pearce. The program was made possible due to funding and donations from Tennis Victoria. We aim to continue the program during the September school holidays and into 2018. Many thanks to the Committee Members who attended, AJ and his coaching team and to all who donated items for the tennis show bags for the children. The feedback from Irabina is that the children had a very positive experience and to see the joy on their faces was very rewarding.

Irabina Autism Services has presented EPTC with a framed certificate of appreciation which will proudly hang in the clubrooms.
